Biography:
Hanoi Rocks was a Finnish glam rock band formed in 1979, whose most successful period came in the early 1980s. The band broke up in 1985 after their drummer Nicholas "Razzle" Dingley died in a car accident a year earlier. Original members vocalist Michael Monroe and guitarist Andy McCoy reunited in 2001 and were active with the new line-up of Hanoi Rocks until 2009.
In the 80s, Hanoi Rocks were the most successful Finnish band internationally and are still popular in the United States, Japan, and the UK.

D riff 2
I gotta get back on my feet
And was it only yesterday
You came my way
Or was it just a while ago
And do I have to tell you you're my lover
Do I have to tell you I'm your slave
And so we have to dance until you're dancing
On my grave
And my lips are turning white
And my jaw is getting tight
And the sun is burning bright
In the middle of the night
Yeah
On the boulevard of broken dreams
She'll eat your heart and she'll eat your face
On the boulevard of broken dreams
And I gotta get back on my feet
Do I have to tell you that I need you
Do I have to show you that I care
Do I have to lie and steal to have you
Do I have to sell myself somewhere
Then we can dance all night together
You'll be my queen I'll be your slave
And we can stay awake forever
Until we're dancing on my grave
